The station was on the Liverpool, St Helens and South Lancashire Railway line from Lowton St Mary's to the original St Helens Central railway station. It was located just east of where it crossed both the WCML[6] and what is now the A573, at the northern edge of the town.[7][8]
The station was built of wood and had very sparse facilities.[4][9]
